Czech theatre performers hit the streets to bring entertainment right up to people's doorsteps, offering them distraction during the coronavirus lockdown.

Out of work and anxious to entertain again, the Cirk la Putyka circus company is regaling residents across Prague.

They attached a trampoline to a flatbed trailer, which they drive around the city to offer their home-delivered entertainment.

The coronavirus lockdown rules forbid more than two people from assembling at once.

So, the mobile performance only stops for a few minutes at a time before too many curious people gather around.

"You cannot stop the culture. So, this is in support of live performances, so we can let all of the people know that we are still here, even though we cannot perform normally," performer Dan Komarov said.

The group has performed in center of the city, as well as around apartment blocks on the outskirts of Prague.

The theatre company plans more guerrilla performances during the lockdown but says it is keeping them secret for now.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks.

For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and could lead to death.
